About The Author

Paul

I think I'm a part of the first generation of journalists to skip print media entirely, and I've learned a lot these last few years at Forbes. My work has appeared on TVOvermind, IGN, and most importantly, a segment on The Colbert Report at one point.

Boba Fett hands down! I know he doesn’t do anything useful but damn that armour is sexy.

Ben’jamin’

Obi-Wan Kenobi!

Jackson Briggs

That little droid in A New Hope that makes the bleep-bloop noise and runs away in the Death Star. Or the senator in Episode 1 or 2 (I forget) that has to tune himself in like an old time radio to speak properly.

I have three. Admiral Ackbar, the greatest military mind to ever live, Chewbaca for obvious reasons, and Qui Gon. I have more that never appeared in the films (yes, I am a huge Star Wars nerd. I’ve read just under 100 books at this point), but I kept it to characters people would actually know.

Han Solo. Not even slightly close. My opinion of Vader dropped sharply after I learned he was a crippled, sickly old white man. It was almost completely ruined after watching the prequels.

Grand Admiral Thrawn
no doubt

Id have to say Jango Fett all the way

obi wan!

The black guy in TESB carrying the ice cream maker… a player needs his Jabba Nut Crunch.

Jim

ACKBAR!!! I say that for many reasons. Partly because he’s the Supreme Commander of the Rebel Alliance Fleet, partly casue he’s the most brilliant military mind ever, and partly cause he’s a cool guy with a fish face.

Oops.. looks like Paul beat me to it… long live Willrow Hood. My second pick would be Lobot.

Also, I’ve gone by the internet babe magnet Gold 2 for going on 15 years now.

The Longshot

1) If we’re limited to the original Trilogy: Boba Fett
2) If we’re limited to the original + new Trilogies: Young Obi Wan
3) If including Errata (rpg, tv, books, etc): Kettch (+100 Interwebz to the nerds who know who that is)

matt

the single black guy in all of star wars universe

Andy

The winner:

Han Solo. No explanation needed.

Honorable mention:

Salacious Crumb: He steals every scene he’s in.

Plo Koon: I don’t think he did anything except look cool as hell.

Leia: She had better aim with a blaster than everyone.

Dustin

Wedge Antilles for sure. Only pilot to make both Death Star runs. Admiral Ackbar is also great. Later on in the books I like Jaina Solo a lot.

Bonus: Because he says “Skywalker” so often in RotJ, it’s really easy to swap in any word with the same cadence. Try saying “c*cksucker” instead in the Emperor voice–it will become your favorite curse, guaranteed.

Matthijs

Kyle Katarn from the Jedi Knight games is probably my favorite non-movie character. A tortured soul, looking for redemption. Also, he knows how to whoop some serious ass.
When we’re talking movie characters it comes down to a tie between Boba Fett and Darth Vader. Vader in Bespin was just pure awesomeness.

Brads

The guy who looks after the Rancour. Not afraid to show emotion.

Porkins – To fat to fly straight.

Aunt Beru – Blue Milk!

Gold Leader – Y-Wing pilots show no emotion.

Ackbar – “Your tastbuds can’t repel flavour of that magnitude!”

Nick

Corran Horn for sure.

J’Quille in second for winning me more than one game of SWCCG (I play a Hoth deck so he fucking owns)

I quite like Bossk as well cos he’s just a bit of a psycho.

But if we’re going for speaking parts in the films then it has to be Lando (Billy Dee Williams!!)
